These make ahead lemon pepper chicken wings are great to have in the freezer. You can pull them out and cook them up if company stops by or for a game day or movie night snack. You know that I tell it like it is. I don’t actually eat chicken wings. I haven’t since I […]
Easy Crock Pot Meatballs
For many years, one of our favourite chicken recipes has been Cindy’s Chicken. It’s a simple recipe but oh, so good! When we have a get-together, I often serve sweet and sour crock pot meatballs as one of the appetizers. Meatballs are always a huge hit with kids (and some of the adults). I wanted […]

These make ahead sweet and sour chicken wings are great to have in your freezer to pull out for game day or for an appetizer evening. They can be cooked in the crock pot, the oven or the Actifry, making them super versatile. Since these chicken wings are not spicy, they can be enjoyed by […]
Santa Fe Spirals
These Santa Fe Spirals are so fast to make and can be made ahead. I almost always have some in my freezer. That way, if guests arrive unexpectedly, I can pull them out and have something yummy to serve. I use them as a staple appetizer for gatherings as they always go over very well. This recipe […]
Make Ahead Spinach Artichoke Dip
I think I’ve rather gushed about my love of discovering that some appetizers can be made ahead and frozen so I will try to keep my squeals to a minimum this time. It’s hard not to be excited though now that I have appetizers in my freezer at my disposal any time I need them. […]
Make Ahead Hot Corn and Crab Dip
Freezer meals are how I feed our family at dinner every night. My neighbour and I get together once every three months and make enough meals to last until the next marathon meal making session. As much as I love entertaining and being able to serve appetizers, it hadn’t occurred to me to make appetizer freezer […]
Gingerbread Spiced Walnuts
There’s something about the holidays that bring out all the nuts! I mean that not only in the sense of friends and family members, but also in the sense of literal nuts. And these gingerbread spiced walnuts are about as festive as they come! You more than likely already have these spices in your cupboard […]
Old Fashioned Salmon Ball
Sometimes it’s the simplest and most classic recipes that are the best. When I was growing up, my cousin Jo-Anne used to bring her Salmon Ball to all the family gatherings. I always looked forward to it and ate more of it than was probably polite but I was young at the time so none […]
Tri Colour Spread
This cheerful looking dip is as tasty as it is colourful. It goes over really well at gatherings and looks particularly nice at Baby or Bridal Showers. This Tri Colour Spread is actually my switched up version of Surprise Spread, a childhood favourite of mine that was served every Christmas Eve in my house. I love […]
Simple Seafood Appetizers
When I was growing up, my mom used to make an appetizer using this seafood filling stuffed into mini pita pockets. I still make them all the time. White mini pita pockets wouldn’t exactly make an appealing picture, so I decided to make them in store bought shells for the purpose of getting a […]
